Sandcastle Villa is a beautiful home for your family's Rincón vacation. It's fully equipped with anything and everything you'll need from the pool and outdoor eating area to the rooftop sun deck. This place will spoil you with comfortable and spacious bedrooms, French doors from the living room directly to the pool deck, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, multiple flat screen TV's and excellent wi-fi. A fully fenced and gated, very private and well-lit yard plus deadbolt door locks made us feel very secure, though the area seemed quite safe and the people friendly. The location is convenient, too. We walked to stores, bars and restaurants, often with a one-year old in her stroller. Lots of beach equipment - chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, floats, etc. are conveniently provided and the municipal public beach is beautiful and just a few blocks away. The pool is clean and well cared for and we cooled off frequently in it during the day, though the nights were a bit cool for swimming.

The only negatives are beyond the owners control, but worth noting: The neighbors dogs do bark excessively both day and night. We used the bedroom air conditioners at night to mask the outside noises (including the loud car stereos common to Puerto Rico - we actually found these kind of amusing :)

Sadly, though the house is just a very short walk from the shoreline, the beach at the end of the street was washed away by hurricane Maria. Hopefully it will return in time.

We'd like to thank Zulima and Carmen for the use of their beautiful home for our trip. Thanks also to Juanita for her help in getting us settled in (and taking care of the stuff we left behind!) Our stay is another wonderful family memory now, but we'd love to return someday and would highly recommend Sandcastle Villa to anyone visiting beautiful Rincón!
